    Pressure washer

    I'm thinking about buying a pressure washer but our outside tap is useless. I understand you can run one from a water butt? Is this right? If I do will rain water be ok to use on the car? (Sorry for all the questions I'm a complete detailing noob)

    Show us your (aftermarket?) steering wheel.

    Probably been done before this. But didn't find anything on a quick search. I I have a melted steering wheel. I've email Royal steering wheels 3x with no response so I'm looking at aftermarket. If anyone has an aftermarket (or trimmed for that matter) stick a pic in this thread. Mum...

    RB 197 cup

    After selling an R53 Mini Cooper S which I loved for a Polo GTi which I hated I've owned a 2008 RB 197 cup for around 2 months now. I've liked the Clio since I saw the Clio cup at a couple of BTCC rounds in the past and I like that the road cars look like the racers. I initially wanted an R27...

    Audio stuff.

    I've recently bought a Clio 197 cup. Despite my protests that the car isn't about banging choons the wife insists that she needs them and the standard stereo is no good for "handling her gangster rap" (she's a 32 year old mother of 2 from rural Lincolnshir and has never been to Compton) whats...

    Clunking

    Firstly, "clunking" is a great word isn't it? Well not when it's describing a problem. I have a "clunk" from somewhere in the wheel area. It only sees to happen at very low speeds such as when manoeuvring to park, any ideas?

    new camera

    After some considerable years with an old point and shoot digital camera and cameras on phones we've just got a decent camera. Its a Nikon D3300 and I have literally no idea how to use it. I've been told that leaving in auto is a complete waste of the camera but I'm baffled by options. Does...

    Nearly an owner.

    Can't remember if I've done a newbie thread or not. I've been on while looking at clios for sale. Have viewed a few, initially I had to have an R27, then any with the recaro's but after viewing cars with destroyed seats I gave up on that idea. Yesterday I stuck a deposit on this 197 cup...
